Yanagisawa 991 gold plated alto & soprano saxophone.
In 1989 while waiting for my Selmer Mark 6 alto saxophone to be repaired I tried a Yanagisawa Alto Saxophone and I was knocked out. I bought it on the spot! I eventually stop playing the Selmer Mark 6 (excellent horn) and started playing the Yanagisawa. I have played a Yanagisawa Saxophone all around the world for over 20 enjoyable years. Over 20 Years of live concerts, rehearsals and recording with some of the greatest artist in the world. My Yanagisawa has never let me down. I could play any horn in the world, old or new but I chose to play Yanagisawa because the they are the best saxophones made, and they SOUND GREAT! The Yanagisawa Saxophone are the "Stradivarius" of saxophones today!

Before the Vandoren I played the same New York Meyer for 29 years the NY. In January 2012 Yanagisawa made a new mouthpiece and asked me to try it. It is excellent!
